The Kiel Mutiny (Encore)

Oct 4, 2023
The podcast explores the Kiel Mutiny during WWI, where sailors in the German high seas fleet stopped taking orders, leading to the collapse of the German monarchy. It discusses the Battle of Jutland, the declining activity of the German surface fleet, and the ongoing negotiations for an armistice. The events leading up to the mutiny, protests, and demands for peace and improved conditions are also discussed. The end of World War I in Germany, including the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the attack on the British Navy, and the impact of the Kiel mutiny on the end of the war and democratic reforms, are explored.
